Double air bridges
Just noticed this picture of air bridges at Taipei (CKS) Airport.
How many others have "double" air bridges like this? Are they designed for different a/c sizes, or to be used simultaneously for larger a/c?
Are any double deck versions planned anywhere for the A380?

You mean AMS?
Is it just me who prefers three letter codes to the four letter ones, or am I exposing my passenger, rather than pilot's view point?
I'll get my coat.

FAO has them too.
And yes please eveyone stop using four letter codes not all of us know what they are, we have to look them up and surely it's easier to type three letters than four!

If your looking at a ND or a FMC you will be used of the ICAO codes.
You can quickly see who does what by whether they use the IATA's or the ICAO's. Personally (Aviation Enthusiast) I prefer the ICAO's.

Wasn't suggesting they were new, just hadn't noticed them before.
Those devices at AMS look extremely complicated - any ideas of the damage for each one?
Presumably not something on the shopping list of any Ryanairport manager.

Years ago I got on the wrong aircraft in Budapest because I went down the wrong arm of the airbridge (I was rather late boarding and they had roped off the 'right' one.
It struck me as funny that after all the heavy-handed security and surveillance you had to go through (this was just before the end of the Communist era) the system could 'lose' you so easily.

It happens here as well - I got sent down the wrong one at Stansted a few years back going to Barcelona ... was very odd to get on an empty plane, with no heat, no light, no cabin crew!
